Yes you could. You wouldn't need to edit package-index because it will get overwritten when you do 'make bindist'. I just had a thought (yep, I get them from time to time). Now bear with me on this because I'm going to assume a few things here. I'm guessing that you are doing something similar to: cd package-source-directory make bindist M-x pui-add-install-directory RET your-staging-directory RET M-x package-get-update-base RET $STAGING/package-index RET M-x pui-list-packages RET And the package that you are building is the same version as listed in ~/.xemacs/package-index.LATEST.pgp. Okay, the scene is set. I've done exactly that many times and have discovered that for some reason 'package-get-update-base' doesn't take the first time.[1] The work around is to: M-x package-get-update-base M-x pui-list-packages q (quit out of the Packages buffer) M-x package-get-update-base M-x pui-list-packages Footnotes: [1] I've never investigated this, so if anyone wants to, go right ahead. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 9E7E2820>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------&lt;youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt;---|
